The flock in 2010



Using my new selection criteria, I culled very heavily and reduced numbers drastically with the result of a much smaller flock of very high standard.
I am very proud of the quality of ewes I have retained.

All our Eureka ewes originate from the renowned interstate studs of Munna, Quigley, Hebron Park & Grangevale.

This year I am using an exciting new stud ram from Anvil stud NSW and have high hopes for this year's lambs.

Eureka ewe lambs, 4 months old and almost fully shed at such a young age.


No need to remove tails, as you can see they shed fully.  The sheep use them to swish away any insects (just as cattle do)
